Wedgwood Christian Services is a distinctively Christian, professionally excellent community of caring, dedicated to helping young people develop the ability to live secure and productive lives. For over 50 years, we’ve been extending God's love to children, adults, and families through professional services that promote healing and wholeness.

As one of Michigan's most regarded experts for helping hurting youth and families since 1960, Wedgwood Christian Services is dedicated to aggressively taking on the toughest problems facing youth today. Our goal is to support and help restore the physical, social, intellectual, emotional and spiritual well-being of children, adults and families within our community.

Wedgwood is making a measurable difference, but needs for our services continue to grow at a rapid pace. We rely on support from the community to help us provide innovative programs and services to the growing number of at-risk and hurting kids and families.

Wedgwood's Transforming Services are 100% funded by donor support and events. Visit our event pages to learn about how you can get involved in supporting Wedgwood or check out our news section to see the latest developments and success stories from our organization.

#TransformingLives

Sex Trafficking

As a part of the Manasseh Project, a specialized shelter and trauma recovery center has been developed for girls who are the victims of sex trafficking and other forms of severe sexual abuse. The home will provide both shelter care as well as a secure, trauma focused treatment experience with specialized programming to help sex trafficked/sexual abuse victims find healing in a safe environment. Specialized individual therapy will be provided as well as family treatment.

Exposure to new activities will be provided to expand the girls' awareness of opportunities available to them. They will be involved in adjunct therapies such as art, dance, music which serve to heal, restore and rehabilitate by improving self-esteem, reducing stress, and giving alternative recreational choices.

Academic options will be available including providing classes in the home if the girls do not feel comfortable going into the community, attendance at community schools and/or the option of pursuing their GED. They will be given employment training to learn skills to increase their confidence and abilities. The goal is to give them options for reaching personal success in life. Gradual transitioning into the community will occur as a sense of self and safety is developed.
